Terror Grips Mogoke as Junta Unleashes Warplanes on Myanmar’s Ruby Town.
Myanmar’s military launched airstrikes on Mogoke in northern Mandalay Region on Monday, marking first attack on the ruby town since it was seized by the Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA) and allies in July, bombing targeted civilian areas, killing residents damaging infrastructure, according to locals & ethnic army.
The TNLA and People’s Defense Forces (PDF) under the civilian National Unity Government (NUG) liberated the town on July 24 after a month of attacks. The deadly airstrikes came amid TNLA efforts to rehabilitate the town, and just a day after junta chief Min Aung Hlaing arrived back from the 8th Greater Mekong Subregion Economic Cooperation Summit in Kunming, China.
